Chapter 132: The Little Book Thief 2

  Le You Ran didn't have that overbearing attitude, it's not like she had any requests for Xiao Yao in this matter, so she would be like this. In fact, recently her attitude towards Xiao Yao has changed, becoming no longer overbearing and even less arrogant.

  Because she has now acknowledged Xiao Yao's power, there will naturally be room for negotiation. Of course, if Xiao Yao doesn't give her face, she won't mind forcing him to do some things.

  Xiaoyao also knew this, so he generally wouldn't refuse Leyou's requests, and Leyou wouldn't come to find him for no reason; only when she really needed something would she come to find Xiaoyao.

  This year, she rarely asked Xiang Yang to do things, at most just asking for some advice on martial arts, and only suggestions, not actual moves.

  "You go ahead and say what's on your mind, I'll take a look at what kind of trouble it is. If it's not too big of a deal, I can do without your conditions," said Xiao Yao.

  "Hehe, you're so good to me! Alright, I'll tell you, this thing is actually not that difficult for you, it just needs your Shennong Zhenqi to solve a problem." Leyouyan said with a smile, Xiangyao's words made her feel very happy, and she knew that Xiangyao would also make the Shennong decision because of Nangong Suzi's matter.

  Although it was said that Le You Ran had misunderstood earlier, but later she went to investigate and found out that Nan Gong Su Xin wasn't simply rescued, but was almost pulled back from the gates of hell by Xiao Yao. She knew that Xiao Yao had some medical skills, and even more so, a mysterious auxiliary technique - Shen Nong Jue.

  As for medical skills, Leyouyan is still uncertain about its effect, but Shen Nong can confirm that no matter how high the cultivation of Shen Nong is, it can help people recover.

  So, only when Le You Ran needs Shen Nong's true energy today will she think of Xiao Yao. If it is someone who needs medical skills, she may not necessarily think of Xiao Yao, especially for things in the imperial palace, because making mistakes here can be very troublesome.

  "It's fine if you want Shen Nong Zhen Qi. There won't be any problem." Xiang Yao nodded and said, because wanting Shen Nong Zhen Qi was actually a very simple matter, as long as you input it, there wouldn't be any issues.

  "Just carefree and didn't understand one thing: 'There should be many people in the palace who know Shen Nong's decision, why look for me?'"

  "Not enough hands!" Leyou said with a smile.

  "Are you kidding me? The palace is fully staffed, how can there be a shortage of manpower?" Xīao looked at Lè Yōu Rán in confusion.

  "It's an unexpected situation, something has happened in the palace and both the Emperor and Empress are injured. And there are several princes and princesses, so there aren't enough people to go around!" Le You Ran said.

  “……, I now think that I shouldn’t have agreed to this!” Xiao Yao was speechless, the situation had clearly become complicated, it must be a coup or something, in this kind of situation if things didn't go well he might even be silenced, all for two simple words——secrecy!!

  "Don't worry, I'm here. I guarantee that nothing will happen to you, although I don't want to get involved in this matter either. However, one of my close friends is implicated and now no one is helping her, so I can only come to you!" Le You Ran understood Xiao Yao's thoughts and first made a guarantee, and her guarantee was enough to make the imperial family dare not do anything, so there would be no problem with "secrecy".

  "Leisurely, you came from the imperial palace to my place and then back to the imperial palace again. Do you think this time is enough for others to rescue your friend?" Xīao looked at Le Yuǎn, feeling that his past efforts were also in vain.

  "This is always an opportunity. I can't just wait there and be useless, but if I call you instead, at least it's certain that you'll be able to help, and by the time she gets a turn, maybe no one will be left for her. You'll be useful then." Le You Ran said.

  "Alright, let's hurry up and go! When something happened, were you there or not? Were you injured?" Xiao Yao glanced at Le You Ran and asked casually.

  "I'm in the palace, but I wasn't there, didn't get hurt, how did you know to worry about me?" Le You Ran smiled and looked at Xiao Yao.

  "Not that, if you're injured, I'll just treat you while I'm at it. Just give me some extra pay and we're good." Xīyáng said nonchalantly.

  "Don't worry, this matter is settled. I'll give you double pay and a bonus!" Leyou Ran said with a smile, patting Xiao Yao's shoulder.

  "It's settled then!" Xiao Yao had a pleased smile as if he had picked up a treasure.

  "You useless thing, just a little money and you're so happy, how embarrassing!" Leyou Ran said with a look of disdain.

  "Heh heh, I'm just a small household servant, this little bit of money is quite significant to me!" Xīao Yáo said with a smile.

  "Go, hurry up!" Leyou ran out of the door and mounted his horse, saying to Xiao Yao.

  "No more horses, didn't you prepare?" Xiangyou looked left and right, but couldn't see any other horses, only the one Leyeran was riding leisurely in front of him. Xiangyou directly ignored the possibility of riding with Leyeran, thinking this idea was absolutely unreliable.

  "Never mind, time is pressing, you sit behind me!" Leyou Ran stretched out his hand, with a gesture of handing it over quickly.

  "... " fell silent.

  "Hurry up, what's taking so long?!" Leyouyan urged.

  "Alright! To save people, I'll sacrifice a bit of dignity..." Xiao Yao grabbed Le You Ran's hand and was immediately pulled onto the horse.

  "Sacrifice your own dignity, the one who's being taken advantage of is me, hurry up and catch me!" Leyou Ran said casually, then quickly rode her horse away towards the imperial palace.

  Like this, the two of them rode a horse together, swaggering through the streets, attracting the attention of many people. Those who knew Yue You Ran were either agape, wide-eyed, stunned or dazed when they saw this situation...

  From this moment on, there were new rumors and gossip about Leyouyan in the city...

  "We've arrived, let's get off the horse. Haven't you hugged enough?" Leyou Yan came to the front of the imperial palace and wanted to get off the horse, but found herself being held in a carefree embrace.

  "It's all yours now, you've taken everything at a bargain!" Xiao Yao said with a hint of resentment.

  "...A black line appeared on her forehead as she felt that this was something she should have said herself."

  "Come on, hurry up! If your friend has any problems, don't come asking me!" Xiangyang changed his expression at this time and urged Leyouyan.

  "Alright, let's go! Follow me, I'll lead the way!" Leyouyan pulled Xiangyao's hand and started sprinting, the guards in the palace saw Leyouyan running wildly but didn't stop her, letting her pass through, not even bothering with Xiangyao who was tagging along.

  At this special time, I can still get such treatment. It seems that Le You Ran has a very different status in the imperial palace!

  "Awesome, this swordsmanship has already transcended the ordinary and entered the realm of the saints!"

  When Xiangyang arrived at a place in the imperial palace, it was already a mess, with signs of fighting everywhere, and on a plate, there were still some corpses, all of which seemed to be the imperial guards, and no one had dealt with these corpses yet, because everyone was busy rescuing.

  But Xiao Yao saw these marks and exclaimed: "The world is really unpredictable!"

  "Who did you bring here and tell about this? Is he trustworthy?" The carefree sigh caused some people to notice his presence, but when they saw the carefree youth, everyone felt like they didn't know this young man. However, upon seeing the carefree youth standing next to Le You Ran, they understood - it must be someone from Le You Ran's side, and that alone was enough to explain some things.

  But this is still not enough to get what just happened out there, this thing must be kept secret!

  "Hmm, it's the person I brought, but I didn't say anything about this! Xiao Yao, how did you know that this sword technique was caused by, and also knew it was a transcendent saint-level sword technique?" Le You Ran asked with some curiosity.

  He said carelessly, "I not only know that it's a sword technique, but also know why this place is like this. It's because of one person, a swordsman with extraordinary and sacred abilities! I didn't expect that just being at the Sacred level would be enough to make the imperial palace of the number one empire in the world look like this, and the royal family was killed too. To be honest, did you guys do something that would anger both heaven and man?"

  The whole room fell silent.

  "Shh, you little fool, don't talk nonsense here. Sorry, he's not quite right in the head and likes to spout rubbish!" Leyouyan immediately jumped in to explain for Xiao Yao, this matter couldn't be taken seriously.

  "Yes, my brain is not working well, I was just talking nonsense!" Xiangyao also found himself to be too talkative, probably because the scene was too shocking. Now his interest lies in carefully studying the sword marks here.

  "Let's go and take a look at Xiang Er's situation." Leyou Ran directly pulled Xiao Yao away, not giving anyone the opportunity to ask more questions.

  "Xīnér? Ah, right! Is Mèngmèng Princess also around here somewhere? I want to take a look at the stunning beauty on the Beauty Rankings!" Xiāoyáo said.

  "Do you want to see Princess Mengmeng? The one lying over there, go take a look, maybe you can see what she looked like before." Leyouyan pointed to the row of corpses on that side.

  "......" Xiao Yao fell silent for a moment, "Dead?! This is indeed a case of beauty being short-lived!"

  "This time it's indeed her bad luck, originally there was nothing to do with her, but she had to come and join in the fun, as a result, she lost her life." Leyou Ran said coldly, from her tone, you could tell that she didn't like Princess Mengmeng.

  In fact, Princess Mengmeng has a good reputation outside, but her character is not very good, too focused on fame and fortune. This time it was originally none of her business, but she wanted to show off her importance, so she forced herself into it, as a result, she lost her life.

  "There are gains and losses, she wants to get opportunities, but also gets danger, that's fate." Xiao Yao sighed, although it's a pity that he can't see this stunning beauty, but he doesn't have any special feelings, after all, he was just taking a casual look.

  It's none of his business whether someone else is beautiful or not. Besides, even if they are beautiful, they're already a pretty corpse...
